"Singapore’s HDB void decks are often deemed as a space for plural co-existence. Supposedly, people of different ethnicities, religions, cultures, and age, congregate and socialize in this space. However, as we are moving towards a more globalized and desensitized society, void decks are gradually losing its original purposes.

ABOUT THE FILM

"Singapore’s HDB void decks are often deemed as a space for plural co-existence. Supposedly, people of different ethnicities, religions, cultures, and age, congregate and socialize in this space. However, as we are moving towards a more globalized and desensitized society, void decks are gradually losing its original purposes.

‍

To express this act of moving away and losing meaning, an HDB void deck will be wrapped in semi-translucent plastic sheets, similar to the imagery present in a house when someone moves their furniture away. Dancers wrap themselves over the architecture in an attempt to stop them from moving away, their bodies drift in and out of consciousness. Gradually, they start to understand the inevitability of change, and their movements serve as a commemoration of this space that was once a key contributor in building plural co-existence in Singapore."

“blue is a song about never changing the human spirit that lives inside your heart, even in the moments of our lives we feel emotionally crippled and incapable, navigating through difficult experiences and emotions that chip away the vulnerable parts of our hearts and amplify our deepest conflicts. To always live and be the real you whatever the weather.”
